Dover Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when she walked away, i never thought i'd have the last laugh in her face
but now im laughing harder than ever because
you look so peaceful when you cant cry wolf
and i said
dont look back
did you ever use your head? did you think this through?
did you think i would'nt hate you? because i do...
dont come crawling back, it just makes you look pathetic
when you said that it was over, and i believed you
no more playing with my mind
this time is the last time because i've left this all behind
and i say
im not looking back
i just wanted to ask: did you think this through?
did you ever use your head? did you think this through?
did you think i would'nt hate you? because i do...
i never predicted how this would end
did you think this through?
and now that its over, i could care less
you weren't worth it at all
